I have pulled a drive from a laptop that has gone south... and it works in a
USB external drive carrier just fine. Problem is... when I access the drive
on my other computer (the one I'm using as I type this)... and try to get
into the user directory where all of my files are stored so I can copy them
to this drive... I get the access denied error message and I'm stuck at that
point.

Is there a way to get around this check so I can access all of the files on
that drive from the other computer?
